Just heard Basic Being Basic and omg what a earworm!!

Just heard it for the first time and my highlights included, Death & Romance, Vampire in The Corner and That's My Floor but honestly all tracks are great and I loved the whole vibe from start to finish, great first album (well I presume it is unless I am wrong?) from them!

Benson come through :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock: :cheeseblock:

Glad to have not finished last and didn't expect to do well tbf :lol: Thank you for all that pointed, Eyes Wide Shut :wub: :wub: Not surprised that Chappell Roan won, a little predictable but I can't deny it is one of the standout tracks of the year!

Glad Chappell Roan, Charlie Puth, Rita Ora, dearALICE, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Conan Gray, Griff, Shaboozey, Shawn Mendes, Mark Ambor :wub: wub:, Ariana Grande, Kesha, Mason vs Princess Superstar, Kylie Minogue, Benson Boone, Kygo & Ava Max, JADE, Charli XCX & Billie Ellish and Dasha all top 100! Troye making it to top 40 Yesss, v underrated track from him! I for some reason thought "I Love the way you kiss me" would be higher! its one of the standout songs for me this year :wub: wub: Yes, and? might be a contender for my song of the year!! Just euphoria in a song!!:wub: wub: Cannot go wrong with a Tom Odell inclusion Apt is one of the most catchiest songs of the year, not surprised its top 40 for you!! The whole of Benson's album is fab so I am pleased to see Pretty Slowly top 40!! Forget About Us Would also be really high for me if I did one!! Disease still has some sort of hold on me, months after! Shame it didn't do better long term in UK Charts :( Shall we work it out on the remix? one of my fave music quotes of the year! Talk Talk remix imma be honest is my fave of the Charli remixes, original was already fab but the troye part elevates it so much :wub: Djo being such a huge hit in terms of the uk charts and beyond is rather surprising to me but in a very good way! Who is really good track, odd to see it have a resurrange this year though LOL [*( Can you feel the *VIBES* (but with Blaise's struggle bus notes xxx) seriously though what a banger and way better in studio version :wub: Unforgettable one of the soundout Eurovision entries this year! what a BOP Slow It Down just is beautifully made, it did so well in your chart!! Team Beautiful Things Of Course!!

I admit I have only seen Eraserhead in film class once for a module I think during college and it was so brilliantly whacky, I had been meaning to watch some of his other films and also twin peaks but If anyone knows me I often put things on back burners so I never got round to it. I was aware of his legacy and how influential he is to the film and tv world, a huge loss for the industry, RIP David Lynch :(

Voted, ended up with a good mix of discoveries and songs/artists I have loved this year! Great contest all round tbh

Will there be a session for this?

Tbh I need to hit you up with suggestions of what new artists I should listen to because there are so many there Im intruiged by! Glad to see Artemis was number one last week!

Win: Suzie Toot First out: Lydia B Kollins Miss Congenialty: Arrietty

I am truly at a loss for words, The Vivienne really was the pinnacle of UK drag! A huge loss to the queer community! :(

Entered, hope my song should be alright!

I expected nothing less than Benson "2024 POP King" Boone to be number one in the album EOY :wub:

Alife, Sabrina and Zara deserved MORE Glad for Charli, Tom Odell, Ariana, Kate Nash, Marcus and Martinus and Artemas though!

Looking forward to reading through this all!

Yay for Brat and From Zero making it in! as for singles I am into The Emptiness Machine, RATATATA and 360! Need to finally hear Magdalena Bay's album too

Mee seeing that top 10:

This was my first Wallace and Gromit experience! I was not even born when the original short films came out and I think only seen clips of the The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit! I rather enjoyed it! Somewhat quirky but also cute? best way I can describe the style of the animation lmao. Rather funny too! I would die for Feathers McGraw!

Right so the first few scenes we saw as teasers for the episode so I don't have much to say about them. The post titles scene onwards from the most part is completely brand new. The introduction to the time hotel was so good, I loved how the interior of the set looked, so visually stunning location wise. Then we get introduced to Trev, who is such a pure soul, I genuinely was kind of traumatised when he disintegrated. "I am sorry I let you down" THE PAIN. This brings me to the villain of the week! Which is essentially Villenguard again but in a briefcase instead of a hospital ambulance thing. Not a bad villain, in fact I would love for it to be explored further like have the doctor take down the Villenguard HQ, for example. They was serviceable in this episode tbh, in comparison how they was in Boom. I will get to the end later on as the ending was one of my main two issues. My favourite part of the whole episode was the sequence of the doctor spending a year in the hotel with Anita and forming a bond with her. I personally loved how we got to see The Doctor experience everyday human life or at least his on version of what they think human life is, The gags in this little section of the ep such as the Honeymoon suite scene and the thinking a plunger is a Dalek blaster. The comedy intertwined with the tenderness and the touching moments between Anita and The Doctor really make this whole section for me. Some may argue it may have dragged on for longer than it needed but I disagree I think it was important to have in terms of The Doctor having a post-companion episode after Ruby left the Tardis Team. If there is one thing I expect in a Moffat penned script is that he writes The Doctor than any other showrunner and any better modern day writer. However, what I was not expecting is how well he has written the people the Doctor meets, in his own tenure as showrunner, I often felt that was lacking especially after RTD's first run as showrunner in comparison. So I was pleasantly surprised when Steven Moffat wrote some brilliant side characters who were fleshed out and you could find yourself investing in them. In particular I mean both the characters of Trev and Anita who were both standout side characters. Now to my criticisms that are stopping me from putting it as 5 stars on here. One; the episode has a standalone companion in the form of Nicola Coughlan's Joy, however I find she doesn't spend a lot of time in the episode and at time it feels like Anita should be the companion over Joy. Don't get me wrong Nicola Coughlan acted the hell out of this episode, the moment she tells the doctor about her mother dying in the time of Co-vid19, in hospital, alone. Gave me goosebumps. I just wish with her being a big name and a big deal for the episode I wish we got more of her. My other real issue I had is the ending, which saw Joy just become the star seed and go into the sky, it all felt a bit easy to me...like especially with how much it was stated of a bad thing this star seed was, it felt like a quick way to wrap the threat up as opposed to actual way to deal with said threat. Overall, I enjoyed this Christmas Special and can see myself going back to it often.

this episode better sweep up the soap awards next year!!!

Yes for DR Who, BBUS and Quinn smashing the Joseph year end! As to be expected tbh! Benson's era is perfect from the strong tracklist and sound to the album cover which is another whole other kind of perfection :wub: Edit: Take That and DearALICE getting a spotlight, the former I love even more because of us listening to the albums this year which was honestly one of my favourite things I did this year, I made a proper discovery with Take That! :wub:

I haven't actually played any 2024 released games if I am honest, oops, but I do still play games that regularly get updated like Apex Legends, Fortnite and Overwatch 2, Those give me still joy to play. I do also still have a back log of games to complete as I am terrible at completing anything really, games wise, tv wise etc. I do still play a 2023 game that came out last year tho like Mortal Kombat 1. That is rather a game I love to play from time to time still,

I am late to giving my add but feel free to add me people https://letterboxd.com/itsflynn96/
